I hope it can live up to the brilliance of the book. I know films have a tough row to hoe that way, but it is my favorite Weir Novel. on the plus side, I do also like Ryan Gosling, so that gives me hope.
I really enjoyed this book, great entertainment, fantastic ideas, scientifically plausible ..... maybe another story! It will be interesting how they make this in movie terms, there isn't many characters and the alien will be challenging and its very techy, not easy for this to have mass appeal. The Martian worked as a movie, although I thought the book was miles better.

One of my favorites. Looking forward to it.
